"Huh?"
Xiao Fan, who was burying his head in a watermelon, looked up curiously when he noticed the sudden silence around him.
He looked up and saw a pair of eyes staring at him!
This made Xiao Fan feel very embarrassed, and he smiled:
"You guys continue, don't mind me. I'll just eat by myself."
"..."
These words made everyone present twitch their mouths.
We're agonizing over Old Master Nalan's illness, and you're eating?
"Forget eating… and you're smacking your lips!"
Nalan Yan frowned, looking at the unfamiliar Xiao Fan, and asked with a puzzled expression, "This… gentleman… is?"
His question caused the other masters to also become suspicious and shake their heads.
"General Nalan, isn't this person from your Nalan family?"
"No!"
Nalan Yan, who had been on the border battlefield, suddenly looked grim.
The prestigious Nalan family, had a freeloader somehow slipped in?
How could he tolerate such a person?
"Boom!"
Immediately, Nalan Yan slammed his hand on the table in anger and stood up.
But just as he was about to open his mouth and curse, a guard in the shadows hurriedly rushed out and whispered something in his ear.
Listening, Nalan Yan's eyes widened instantly, and he said incredulously: "You said he is..."
"Heh heh~"
Nalan Yan gave an embarrassed smile and quickly clasped his hands towards Xiao Fan: "This sir, I am Nalan Yan of the Nalan family. Because the old master's illness was too urgent, I was just a little rude. Please don't take offense, sir."
"Xiao Fan."
Xiao Fan didn't care about this and waved his hand: "Is there any meat to eat? These fruits can't fill my stomach."
"Yes!"
Nalan Yan responded and quickly beckoned:
"Someone, quickly offer a seat to Mr. Xiao Fan!"
"Mr., please!"
Nalan Yan's sudden change in attitude left the masters quite puzzled.
Was this young man's background extraordinary?
His surname was Xiao!
Could he be someone from the former Xiao Clan?
But the current Xiao Clan had already declined to a small family, so that was impossible! Furthermore, the Nalan family and the Xiao Clan had fallen out because of Nalan Yanran, and it was even less likely that the Nalan family would treat him this way.
While everyone was feeling bewildered, Xiao Fan had already calmly sat down in his seat, completely ignoring the gazes of others, and began to eat and drink to his heart's content.
Nalan Yan was only being so friendly because his secret guards had told him that the young man was a Dou Spirit expert.
After a few polite exchanges, the entire hall fell into a somber atmosphere once again.
Nalan Yan sighed deeply, forcing a smile: "Thank you all for coming. It seems that the old master indeed had this tribulation. Although it failed, I will still prepare a generous reward for everyone later."
"General Nalan, you're too kind."
Hearing these words, which were a veiled way of telling them to leave, everyone could only force a wry smile and shake their heads, standing up to leave.
They really didn't have the face to accept the reward in this kind of atmosphere.
"Aren't you all, the so-called masters, capable? How about... I give it a try?"
Just then, a calm voice, accompanied by the sound of chewing, suddenly emerged from the side.
This sentence instantly shattered the atmosphere, causing everyone's gazes to converge on the speaker.
Who else could it be but Xiao Fan?
He had nearly finished his meal, and even considering the meal itself and the sign-in points, he wouldn't stand idly by.
Moreover, Nalan Yanran was a friend of his precious daughter!
"Mr. Xiao Fan, you... are also an alchemist?"
Nalan Yan asked Xiao Fan, surprised.
"Not really."
Xiao Fan replied calmly, smiling faintly.
"Uh... this..."
Such words caused everyone in the hall to be stunned.
The group of alchemists were immediately furious:
"What arrogance! We, these third and fourth-grade alchemists, can't do anything, and you, a guy who isn't even an alchemist, where do you get your confidence?"
"Old Master Nalan is the Lionheart Marshal of the empire, how can you, this kid, just say you can try?"
Hearing these disdainful words, Xiao Fan was dismissive and said nothing.
If you get bitten by a dog, you naturally shouldn't bite back.
Just hit the dog's head and be done with it!
Nalan Yan stared at Xiao Fan, wanting to see something in his eyes.
This person was indeed not what he seemed.
He looked to be not yet thirty years old, yet he was already a Dou Spirit expert!
But even if he was a Dou Spirit expert, if he wasn't an alchemist, how could he save the old master?
Although Nalan Yan didn't believe Xiao Fan could really save him, he still cautiously asked:
"Mr. Xiao Fan, do you have confidence in treating the old master?"
Xiao Fan slowly stood up, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"Does Dan King Gu He have a chance?"
"Uh…"
Hearing this, Nalan Yan hesitated, then shook his head.
"If Master Gu He could treat it, why would we bother expending so much energy seeking medical help everywhere?"
"Since even Gu He isn't absolutely certain, isn't your question, General Nalan, a bit offensive?"
Xiao Fan's lips curled into a slight smile.
This smile caused Nalan Yan's heart to tighten. This person… was extraordinary!
Nalan Yan quickly apologized, cupping his hands.
"I was indeed too anxious. Does Mr. Xiao Fan have any methods?"
Hearing this, Xiao Fan disdainfully glanced at all the alchemists present.
"You old geezers, and you call yourselves alchemy masters? You don't even understand the simplest principles."
"Since it's a poison, why not just suck it out?"
"Huh? What?"
Xiao Fan's words moved everyone present, their expressions shifting dramatically, as if enlightened!
Suck it out?
They hadn't thought of that before!
Or rather, it wasn't that they hadn't thought of it, but that they had never dared to!
That was Brand Poison, a deadly poison that could torture a five-star Dou King to death; who would dare to suck it out?
But they had to admit, it was indeed a way!
This young man really wasn't a show-off; he actually had some skills!
At this moment, the white-haired old man, who was the first to be embarrassed, furrowed his old brows and asked in a kind tone:
"Young friend, you should know that what Nalan's old man is poisoned with is Brand Poison!"
"This poison is incredibly potent. Even a tiny bit of contact can cause a loss of Dou Qi, and a lot of the poison can lead to death!"
"That's right!"
Another alchemist nodded in agreement.
"Based on my previous observations, the Brand Poison has already infiltrated Master Nalan's meridians. Ordinary people simply can't extract it all!"
Hearing this, Xiao Fan smiled faintly.
"You've also said that ordinary people can't extract the Brand Poison. But what if Dan King Gu He, a sixth-rank alchemist, were to do it himself?"
"Hiss~ This…"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd of alchemists fell silent.
They had to admit that if Dan King Gu He were to act, it was indeed possible to extract all of the Brand Poison.
How could a Dan King possibly risk his life for Old Master Nalan?
The white-haired elder clasped his hands towards Xiao Fan, forcing a wry smile.
"Young friend, I apologize for my previous rashness. You do indeed have a way to save Old Master Nalan."
"Indeed! We call ourselves master alchemists, yet we didn't even think of such a method. We are truly ashamed."
Nalan Yan's face twitched violently as he watched this scene.
You two are chatting amicably, but what about the Old Master? Are they really going to find Dan King Gu He to suck out the poison? What a joke!
"Mr. Xiao Fan, although this method is feasible, it's even harder to accomplish than finding a master alchemist with Heavenly Flame! May I ask, Mr., if there are any other methods?"
"No!"
Xiao Fan shrugged.
"Sigh…"
Nalan Yan sighed bitterly. "The old man's fate is indeed…"
"Wait a moment, General Nalan, I haven't finished speaking!"
Xiao Fan suddenly interrupted. "I indeed have no other way, but I can use this method to save Old Master Nalan!"
"What???"
"Mr. Xiao Fan, you're going to absorb the Brand Poison?"
